25k milestone

[MadDave]

Really pleased I managed to get beyond the 13.1 mile HM barrier, and got to 25k (15.5 miles). Also pleased I managed this with my left soleus issue which is slowing me down a bit. My target marathon is the Cambridge Boundary Run in 1st March, and today’s run was a recce if part of that course. I managed to fit in a bit of trail so muddy it had to be walked through, and saved that up for the 23k mark, as I do like a bit of a challenge.

More physio appointments will hopefully sort out that knotted soleus so I can push a bit further and harder next time...

Great run Dave - well done! Good luck with your training and hope that soleus settles down soon.🙂

I saw this on strava - brilliant run! Just a tiny bit further and you can hit the 'metric marathon milestone 😀. Good luck with the soleus 🤞

I like the idea of the metric marathon milestone! I could’ve probably managed a bit more distance, but had already run out of safe footpaths to run on. Next time...😊

Aha, that reminds me 😄

Wow, you’re certainly clocking it up! Well done, I can imagine the ‘metric marathon’ would help psychologically too......

Awesome work!

That is terrific work, well done! I did 14 miles for my long run yesterday and it was the first time I had ever been further than the HM distance. It felt psychologically important and a teensy bit thrilling! I welcome those muddy trails when I have to walk a bit...
